it's it's anoything like alice, it will be another kickass game that i only play a little bit of ;) I just couldn't dig the 3rd-person style of Alice, but definitely give it merit for what they did in that game. Hope McGee's magic works just as well in Oz

The third person games are hard to play at times but I really just trip on the story line. I'm so sick of the games where you the only person who can stop evil from invading the world and you only have a shotgun to do it with!!!! How many times do we have to do Doom over and over again?

kingpin can lick my ballz, i got SO far into that game and then it froze in this one part... my save game got thrashed in the process of the game crashing, i said "fuck this game" and never played it again

was cool until then tho. minus retarded "oh god please help me you're pointing a gun at me so im going to run around in a 2-foot wide circle now until you blast my head off" AI :D

So Rav...tell us how you really feel??? http://jeeptalk.org/crack/smilies/otn/wink/thumb.gif How could you not like the light saber? Every body wanted a light saber after seeing the first movie.

For me, JK2 only really got interesting once I had the light saber :D DAMN those first few battles with the dark jedi were intense!

And I give American McGee a lot of credit for doing truly creative stuff with Alice. Some of my favorite SP gaming moments were from that game ... the level where you are walking through the lava fields, and you come around a corner and see a normal-looking house up at the top of a cliff. Suddenly, what's happening in the overall flow of the game becomes crystal clear. Pretty cool stuff.

Looking forward to Oz, esp since I was a big fan of that whole series of books growing up.
